SCIT's 2013 season took a step away from Aristophanes—and from comedy—to adapt the only complete extant satyr play, Euripides' Cyclops, as only the Golden State can: with hipsters and Hollywood. Polly Famous is a former film star now fading away in her Hollywood mansion, luring young talent to her home in a desperate attempt to gain the limelight again. Ava Shirazi and Hans Wietzke co-directed the production, which ran May 23–25 in Toyon Hall.

The video combines parts of the May 24 and 25 performances.
